The Dig—terrific piece of entertainment with strong British presentation—accesses
the talents of Ralph Fiennes and Carey Mulligan to explore how credit for work
well done does not always receive its expected credit or recognition. This
interesting story chooses the entertainment platform of Netflix to produce, market, and
distribute. This is not the usual television-like fare that some of the newer
platforms are rolling out while desperately attempting to attain an established
and lasting presence in the newer Internet-streaming-based market. It’s good to
see classic artists making this platform leap to provide such high-quality
entertainment that can be enjoyed in the much more comfortable theatre
environment of one’s home rather than the old-fashioned approach where one is
forced to spend time navigating to another location solely for the purpose of
entertainment while using time/more money to access that entertainment. This
movie creates a deep impression. One of those stories that is not soon forgotten.
